On XP - RIGHT CLICK on the desktop, select PROPERTIES from the drop-down menu, then the SETTINGS tab and change the SCREEN RESOLUTION setting such that it appears like it used to be (e.g 1280 by 800 instead of 800 by 600).

Right-clicking never does anything damaging, it just presents a menu of options from which you choose what action you want to happen.

If Vista but not XP.
Hold down the CTRL key and scroll the wheel on the mouse.
Also ..

Display/Settings/Advanced ... check DPI is set correctly.
Sound like display resolution changed due to something changing it (like screensaver or game)
Display/Settings .. set highest colour and check resolution setting.
